The first teaser trailer for the hit espionage drama is here. 

The 50 seconds clip gives fans a messy sneak peek at what happened to Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison during those seven months of confinement in a Russian gulag. 

The footage sees Carrie admit that she lost months of her life, only to return to her life with only broken memories of what actually happened to her there. 

According to Showtime’s official description, in the eighth and final season of the show, “Kabul teams with warlords and mercenaries, zealots and spies — and Saul needs the relationships and expertise that only his protégé can provide. Against medical advice, Saul asks Carrie to walk with him into the lion’s den — one last time.”

Starring opposite Carrie is National Security Advisor Saul Berenson, played by Mandy Patinkin, as well as Beau Bridges, Maury Sterling, Linus Roache, Costa Ronin, Nimrat Kaur, and Numan Acar.

Claire Danes’ final curtain call as Carrie Mathison has been delayed. 

Showtime announced Friday that the final season of its acclaimed drama will premiere February 9, 2020. By the time the show airs, it would have been off the air for almost two years. 

“Homeland is an ambitious series, especially in its final season. Alex wants to go out proudly, and he’s going to. That has involved production in multiple countries and at times in places that have some issues,” Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine told reporters Friday at TCA. “It just takes time. There have been no missteps here; it’s been a relatively smooth process but a very ambitious production schedule that has taken more time than we thought it would. One of the things that we do at Showtime [is a strategy that] we’d rather have it good than fast.”

This isn’t the first time that the premium cabler announced that the series would not hit its planned premiere date. “We previously announced a June premiere but because of production demands of our international locations, we’re moving the final season premiere back to the fall,” Levine said at the time.

Production is currently underway in Morocco.

The husband and wife will share screen time as Dancy has been tapped for a multi-episode arc on Showtime’s spy thriller based on the original Israeli series Prisoners of War.

According to Deadline, the Emmy-nominated actor will portray John Zabel, a savvy Washington consultant who joins the White House as a new foreign-policy advisor to the President and a formidable opponent to Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin).

The eight and final season of Homeland will see Carrie Mathison (Danes) recovering after months of confinement in a Russian gulag. Her body is healing, but her memory remains fractured. Meanwhile, Saul has been dispatched to engage the Taliban in peace negotiations, and against medical advice, he asks Carrie to walk with him into the lion’s den — one last time.

Dancy’s credits include Hannibal, Showtime’s The Big C and Hulu’s The Path.

Season 8 of Homeland is set is to premiere late in 2019.

Network CEO and president David Nevins confirmed Monday at the Television Critics Association press tour that Homeland will end after season eight. The series was one of Showtime’s longest-running shows. 

“Homeland has been a game-changing series for SHOWTIME, as provocative about the world we live in as it is prescient,” Nevins said. “This project, arriving right at the beginning of my Showtime tenure thanks to [producers] Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon, and brought to life by a remarkable cast led by Claire Danes and Mandy Patinkin, is a richly written character study that is now ready for its natural conclusion. Viewers will be rewarded by the way Alex brings Homeland home.”

Back in April, showrunner Alex Gansa told EW that season eight will probably be the show’s last, “We get to play this last season in D.C with the intention of taking us overseas for one last chapter. Season 8 will be overseas somewhere. We get to play a story with larger national stakes in season 7 and we’ll go back to a smaller intelligence-based season in 8. We get to pull out all the stops this year and then get to the emotional heart of things in season 8.” Now that the news have been confirmed he added, “Homeland has been the most joyful and rewarding experience of my career. Not many have been as lucky as me — partnered with the miraculous Claire Danes, supported to the ends of the earth by Fox and Showtime, and working in the company of some of the most gifted writers, actors, and filmmakers in the business. I am sad to see the journey coming to an end, but it is time.”

Season eight is scheduled to premier in June 2019.

The actress said she was in her first trimester of pregnancy while filming the hit series, describing it as her “least favorite phase.”

“You just feel horrible. You just feel rotten and you’re not allowed to say why,” she told the host. “I was filming quite a lot and just inadvertently falling asleep all the time. It was just embarrassing.”

Danes shared one particular incident on set, where she was embarrassed after falling asleep on a crocheted bag that was given to her.

“She crocheted this amazing bag for me, which was so lovely,” the 39-year-old explained. “But I just face planted on to the bag, this crocheted bag, in between takes… And it was time for my close up, and they’re like, ‘Claire, Claire, you got to go act.’ And I sit up, and I have this, like, crocheted indentation all on the side of my face. It looked like I had third degree burns. They were massaging my face. They had to get out the blow dryer. I halted production for a good half an hour. I felt like an idiot,” she continued.

Currently the actress is in her second trimester, which she describes as “cruisy.”

“It gets a little excited when I have a chocolate bar. It’s moving and kicking,” she said of her second child. “I love that part. It’s like a fireworks show every so often. It’s really cool and a little creepy. It is, it’s like an alien being in there, cohabitating, yeah, AirBNB.”

Emmy award-winning Danes and husband Hugh Dancy are already parents to 5-year-old son Cyrus. Earlier in the day, she revealed her second pregnancy on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show.

The fan favorite actor who played Peter Quinn for six seasons on Homeland is set to co-star in CBS’ Access series Strange Angel.

The fantasy drama series created by Black Swan’s Mark Heyman is based on George Pendle’s book of the same name. The series tells the story of Jack Parsons “a brilliant and ambitious blue-collar worker of 1930s Los Angeles who started as a janitor at a chemical factory but had fantastical dreams that led him to birth the unknown discipline of American rocketry. Along the way, he fell into a mysterious world that included sex magick rituals at night, and he became a disciple of occultist Aleister Crowley. Parsons used Crowley’s teachings of self-actualization to support his unimaginable and unprecedented endeavor to the stars.”

Friend will play Ernest Donovan, Parson’s neighbor, “A lost soul and drifter, Donovan pulls Parsons out of his humdrum existence and into a strange new religion that encourages its followers to pursue their deepest and darkest desires as a means of bending the world to their will.”
